iphone no ipod



iPhone no iPod?

One of the things that made the iPod so successful was that any one

could pick it up and use it without ever reading a manual or asking

anything more than where is the on button. The scroll wheel was a

stroke of genius. Now it looks like the up coming iPhone is going for

a somewhat different approach. Steve Jobs was interviewed at a

conference called D and said

We actually think we have a better keyboard. It takes a few days of

getting used to, but I bet you dinner that after a few days of

using it you'll be convinced. It takes a week -- you have to learn

how to trust it. When you learn how to trust it, you'll fly.

Thats a bit brave since many people will pick up the iPhone in a shop,

play with it for a few minutes and make a decision *not* to buy one

because they cant use it and don't want to spend a week playing with
